I agree with this, it's just that my addiction to porn resulted in a condition where I couldn't get full erections with real partners but with porn it was 100% every time. I just think it's better for my healing process if I don't fap at all. The idea is that you're rewiring your brain back to real humans, rather than to porn, and if you fap while you're healing, you're still using those old neural pathways, because fapping and porn are associated as far as your brain is concerned. Whether or not its true, I have no science to back it up apart from testimonials, but it feels like it works.

2 -3 week no fap can do wonders. It can bring back morning wood. After that I would suggest maybe once a week at most.

What benefits would you argue there are to the occasional fap? At the moment my plan is to go the full 90 days, and after that decide what I want to do. I will never go back to porn though, and I worry if I fap again I might be tempted.

I am 39 days into No porn, and No fapping.

I edge in my routine, but I'm not masturbating to release.

It's not the easiest thing to do, some days porn sounds super pleasant to watch.

I mean that literally, sometimes I just feel like watching porn, not even masturbating to it.

But I've quit porn and masturbating, I'm not sure why I started no fap included.

I think if I was still regularly masturbating I would "relapse" on porn.

I was never addicted to porn, but you get what I mean.

Well it's healthy to release.

For me, it'd be nice if I was masturbating because my sex drive is higher than my girlfriends (she works a LOT and is exhausted, I don't blame her.) so that I didn't bug her about sexual stuff when she's home.
